Michigan Creative Film Alliance - Call for Scripts

MICHIGAN CREATIVE FILM ALLIANCE

CALL FOR SCRIPT SUBMISSIONS

The Michigan Creative Film Alliance, comprised of students and faculty from Wayne State University, Michigan State University and the University of Michigan, is now looking for the screenplay that will be produced in the summer of 2011.

Script submissions can either be in the form of a short (20 to 30 pages) or a full-length screenplay that will ultimately be turned into a short as was the case with the 2010 production of Appleville. 

Each university will select two finalists.  A panel of judges will determine the winner that will be announced at the premiere of Appleville on March 30, 2011 at the Detroit Institute of Arts.

If the chosen script is feature length, the writer will be expected to re-write and deliver a draft script by April 30^th.   In all cases, the winner should expect to do plenty of rewriting in collaboration with members of the production team during early summer prior to shooting.

SCRIPT SUBMISSION DUE DATE:  JANUARY 17, 2011

All scripts need to be in standard screenplay format.

Only undergraduate or graduate students at MSU, WSU and UofM may enter.  Students who graduate in December 2010 or May 2011 are eligible.
